GSK's $10.6B Nuvalent Deal Sharpens Patent Cliff Focus on PFE
What happened
GSK agreed to acquire oncology biotech Nuvalent for $10.6 billion, a move framed by analysts as a defensive response to looming patent expirations across large-cap pharma. The deal underscores an industry-wide scramble for late-stage pipeline assets ahead of revenue cliffs tied to blockbuster drug losses. Pfizer faces its own significant patent expiration cycle through the late 2020s, with multiple core products set to encounter generic competition over that window. No Pfizer-specific transaction was announced.
